Argentina has suspended corn exports through February to secure domestic feed supplies and curb meat and dairy prices amid forecast 50% inflation. Farm associations responded by calling a trading halt from January 11 to 13.
Removing Argentina, the third-largest corn shipper, from export markets tightens world corn supply and supports corn prices, while raising the risk of further export curbs on other crops.
